I would be able to better relax my body and shift into the calm state more often. This would leave me more time and energy to be able to do my work and serve others.
I would trust more, myself, and my capabilities to navigate all challenges. I would feel safe to experience joy, sans fear that the rug was about to be pulled out for letting go of hypervigilance. I would risk more, open to creativity, laugh more especially at my self and curiosity and compassion would be there to catch me when I fell.
Thank you for this overview of fear management. This will help me with my yoga teaching which includes breath work. I enjoy the work so and see the physical benefits for those who participate. Also for myself. The physical body reflects the mental body. We are a package. Understanding to support is important.
Yoga teaching is my early retirement project that has carried on into my 70s.

I’m just passing by, reviewing the ad in consideration of taking the course. What strikes me is that this is what I do when I work with First Responders (and actually other professionals as well). Thank you for sharing and I will be looking at this more closely.
A confident, energetic, loving , nonjudgmental and non procrastinating person. I would be mindful and compassionate and empathetic. I would experience the vitality in life that is missing
I would be the brave, adventurous child that I once was before life traumas shifted my being into one with anxiety and self doubt. To be that young fearless girl again! How beautiful and freeing that would be!
Dorrie Casey, Another Field, Chapel Hill, NC, USAsays
My biggest fear is that each episode (and each one seems worse than the last) of nerve pain will be forever. I feel certain that this is a holdover from childhood, where there was no comfort to be had, only more shame for needing comfort. How to face that fear of the forever-ness of pain, that sense of being alone with this pain?
When I ask myself that question I feel lighter and freeer. I’m not sure at this stage who I would be but sense potential. AlsoI feel a sense of grief for what I have missed in my life . Offer myself compassion. It’s not too late, despite my age😀
I have a deep knowing that that person is who I truly am.
I would be confident, considerate…
respectful of boundaries
not taking responsibility for things not mine to do
not fear of failure
not expecting rejection and judgement
broken out of pattern of shame
stop choking when I think I did something wrong
How much real living lost when in fear! Without it I would be so much more trusting, courageous, adventurous, more at ease with myself and others. I shall practice REAL BUT NOT TRUE. Thank you Tara for your teaching, wisdom and love.
As a lifelong anxiety sufferer I’m totally clueless as to who I might have the potential to be. Fear has driven every aspect of my life for as long as I can remember.
Now, in my 50’s, without the social pressure of youth, I have learned to face my fears and unpack my past. It is my past that pointed me towards psychology but it was my fear that kept me from applying myself to my education as I had wanted to. If I didn’t carry that fear, I would have gone farther in my career. I would not be twice divorced. I would have taken the time and care to make better decisions.
I feel like I was already imbued with fear when I was in the womb. Growing up in a dysfunctional environment only reinforced that constant state of anxiety. Now, at over 40, I’m trying to overcome that engrained fear that has shaped my life and my health (autoimmune issues). Tara, I discovered your work several years ago and it has helped me greatly. Thank you for so generously sharing your wisdom. This video serious is very helpful!
